AMD has decided to show some love to the gaming community by giving away five of their brand-new Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics cards. This gesture is aimed at gamers, creators, and innovators who have been pivotal in inspiring AMD’s journey.
Just two days ago, AMD rolled out the Radeon RX 9070 XT alongside the RX 9070, and the reception has been quite favorable, especially when matched up against the RTX 50 series counterparts. On launch day, these cards stood out not only for their performance but also for their availability and price point, striking a fine balance many found appealing.
Now, if you missed getting your hands on these GPUs during the launch, there’s still hope. AMD is hosting a giveaway where five lucky participants have a chance to win a Radeon RX 9070 XT for free. Jack Huynh, the SVP and GM of AMD’s Computing and Graphics division, made this exciting announcement on X, kicking off a six-day event starting today.
In this giveaway, not only will there be five GPUs up for grabs, but two of them will be extra special, as they come with the personal signature of AMD’s CEO, Dr. Lisa Su. This giveaway is part of AMD’s effort to give back to the vibrant community of gamers and creators and is hosted through Gleam. However, it’s important to note that this giveaway is limited to participants from the USA and Canada, so international fans might have to sit this one out.
To enter, you’ll need to be at least 18 years old and ready to provide details like your real name, address, and phone number for shipment purposes. Winners should brace themselves for possible VAT or import taxes and a wait time of about four weeks for delivery.
At this point, it’s unclear if the GPUs being given away will be standard reference models or if custom AIB editions will also be featured. But enthusiasm is already in the air, with users keenly participating. If you’re feeling lucky, make sure to check out the link to join in the excitement.
As for the Radeon RX 9070 XT itself, it’s powered by the NAVI 48 die, featuring 4096 streaming processors, 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and a 256-bit memory bus. Premium models boast a boost clock of up to 3.1 GHz. While it’s a tad slower than the RTX 5070 Ti, its $150 price advantage makes it a compelling option for those seeking value for their money.
